Chapter 2: Chapter 2 {Opened Window}
Aika's gaze was intense, her eyes burning with a fierce determination. She felt a sense of purpose, a sense of destiny, that she had never felt before. She was no longer just a disciple, no longer just a Saint Winter Child. She was something more, something greater. And she was ready to learn, to grow, and to become the legend that her master saw in her.
Aika's master, Master Zack, smiled, a hint of pride and nostalgia in his eyes. "A Saint Daughter of Samsara is a being of immense power and wisdom, one who has transcended the boundaries of mortal cultivation and achieved a state of unity with the universe," he said, his voice filled with reverence.
"She is a master of all elements, a wielder of the fundamental forces of nature, and a guardian of the balance of the cosmos."
Aika's eyes widened, her mind reeling with the sheer scope of what her master was telling her. She felt a sense of awe and wonder, mixed with a hint of trepidation. She knew that she had a long way to go before she could even begin to approach such a level of power and wisdom.
Aika's master, Master Zack, continued, his voice filled with a sense of gravity and importance.
"A Saint Daughter of Samsara is not just a title, Aika. It is a calling, a responsibility, and a destiny. It is a path that few have walked, and even fewer have achieved. But I believe that you have the potential to become one, to wield the power of the universe and to bring balance and harmony to the cosmos."
Aika felt a shiver run down her spine as she listened to her master's words. She felt a sense of excitement and trepidation, mixed with a hint of fear. She knew that she was being called to something greater, something that would require her to push herself to her limits and beyond. But she also knew that she was ready, that she was willing to take on the challenge and to see where it would lead her.
"But child your origin is a mystery you aren't fully a mortal nor are you demon yet they are powerful seals within you seals that the Three Witch Sisters who are mystery placed on you and other seals that seem beyond the Three Witch Sister. You once said you aren't the daughter of the Frost Family Clan than whoever your father or mother aren't normal at all."
Aika's eyes widened, her mind reeling with the revelations.
"What do you mean, Master? What secrets are hidden within me? And who are the Three Witch Sisters?" She felt a sense of unease, as if her entire identity was being turned upside down.
"And you're right, I'm not the true daughter of the Frost Family Clan... but who am I, then?"
Aika's voice was barely above a whisper, her eyes locked onto her master's, searching for answers.
"My parents... they're not who I thought they were, are they? And these seals... what do they mean? Are they connected to my true identity?" She felt a shiver run down her spine as she thought about the implications.
"And the Three Witch Sisters... who are they? What kind of power do they possess that they could place such powerful seals on me?"*
Aika's mind was racing with questions, but she knew that her master would only reveal as much as he was willing to. She took a deep breath, trying to calm her racing thoughts.
"Master, please... tell me the truth. Who am I, really?"
"Sorry child but that's for you to find out it says that those who have walked on an immortal path have countless of past lives I can recall my past lives and what I did tell me can you?" Master Zack asked and Aika frowned she was cold and expressionless. She couldn't remember anything she felt like she was drowning.
Aika's eyes dropped, her gaze falling to the ground as she struggled to recall any memories of past lives. But there was nothing. Just a vast, empty void. She felt a sense of desperation creeping in, as if she was grasping at something just out of reach.
"I... I don't know, Master," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "I don't remember anything. It's like... I'm starting from scratch."
Aika's face was a mask of calmness, but beneath the surface, she was panicking. She felt like she was losing herself, like she was drowning in a sea of uncertainty. She looked up at Master Zack, her eyes searching for answers.
"What does it mean, Master? Why can't I remember anything?"
"Child I…" Master Zack sighed and his beautiful wife who was a year younger than Master Zack stepped forward and held Aika hand and she sweetly smiled. "Child it means that in all the past lives you had it can two it could be thousands or even a million who knows, but it seems gods, goddess, or even demons do not want you to recall anything don't worry to much about it always remember even within the heart the locks you can always find a opened window," Freya said and Aika was just cold and indifferent but she nodded her head.
Aika's expression remained cold and indifferent, but her eyes seemed to gleam with a hint of curiosity. She looked at Freya's hand, which was still holding hers, and then back at her face. For a moment, she seemed to be searching for something in Freya's eyes, but then she nodded her head, a small, almost imperceptible movement.
"I understand," she said, her voice flat and emotionless.
"I'll remember."
*Aika's gaze dropped, and she pulled her hand back from Freya's, her movements economical and precise. She seemed to be withdrawing into herself, her emotions locked away behind a mask of indifference. But for a moment, a fleeting moment, her eyes seemed to flash with a hint of something more, a spark of curiosity or perhaps even hope.
"Now that is over Aika as you know our job as mages is to take care of evil spirits and execute them. In over the years you joined the sect in Alqio Galaxy you have made a name for yourself you are a mystery to the world. Anyway you lack something," Master Zack said. Aika frowned and crossed her arms she didn't know what she lacked.
Aika's eyes narrowed, her gaze intensifying as she looked at Master Zack. She was curious about what he meant, and her mind was already racing with possibilities.
"What do I lack, Master?" she asked, her voice firm and direct. She was not one to mince words or beat around the bush, and she expected the same from her master.
Aika's arms were still crossed, her posture confident and assertive. She was a skilled mage, and she had earned her place in the sect through hard work and determination. She was not one to be easily intimidated or swayed, and she would not hesitate to speak her mind if she disagreed with her master's assessment.
"Your understanding for humans you lack that. Child you love and pamper your kids and also train them they are mischievous little triplets," Master Zack said as he thought about Aika three kids my goodness they are a handle full and also cunning in all kinds of way just like there mother who most of the times likes to sleep instead of training yet she gets stronger while she sleeps it's just a strange.
Aika's expression softened, and a small
smile played on her lips as she thought about her children. She nodded her head, her eyes gleaming with a warm, loving light.
"Yes, my children are a handful, but I love them dearly. They're always getting into mischief, but they're also incredibly intelligent and resourceful. I'm proud of them, and I'll do everything in my power to help them grow and develop their abilities."
Aika's gaze drifted off, lost in thought as she remembered her children's antics. She chuckled softly to herself, a low, throaty sound.
"And yes, they can be quite cunning at times. I've caught them sneaking into the kitchen to steal sweets, and they've even managed to convince some of the other disciples to do their chores for them. But despite their mischievous ways, they're good children at heart, and I'm grateful to be their mother."
Aika's eyes refocused on Master Zack, and she nodded her head again.
"I understand what you're saying, Master. I'll try to be more understanding and compassionate towards humans. But it's not always easy, especially when they can be so... frustrating at times."
"It's your kids it's you, you are so emotionless toward humans you will help if you feel like it you will do something if you feel like in a good mood if not you go and rampage everything. Now not only that your lack of communication you speak little but if you do speak you are sharp tongue and also can be quite rude."
Aika's expression turned cold, her eyes flashing with a hint of anger.
"I am what I am, Master. I don't see the need to change for the sake of others. My emotions are my own, and I won't pretend to be something I'm not. If they can't handle my sharp tongue, that's not my problem."
"Forget it you are my dear disciple and you will one day be the future sect leader." Aika smiled happily now she doesn't care about connecting with other people unless she has to.
